Simile because it uses the direct comparison "as ... as". An example of a metaphor would be "She stormed into the room" or "The procession snaked its way through the streets"

Definitely a metaphor. The Welsh football (Soccer) results can be broadcast im about 3 1/2 nanoseconds. But, then, who the hell cares?

it is a simile because it has 'as' in it. i remember which is which by thinking simile sounds like similar, so if something is similar to something it isnt something, its like something, so saying 'AS something AS something,' is saying it is similar to it, but it isn't it.

If you use "as" it's a simile

Any expression that says "as ------ as --------" is a simile.
